The Louisville Cardinals won the first matchup against the North Carolina Tar Heels this season. On Saturday, North Carolina had its revenge.
The Tar Heels went to Louisville's rollicking KFC Yum! Center and came away with a signature win, beating the Cardinals 79-69. Cameron Johnson (19 points, 10 rebounds, 3-of-6 from three) and Luke Maye (20 points, 11 rebounds) led the way for the Tar Heels, while Kenny Williams added 10 points and three steals in the convincing win.
Dwayne Sutton posted 19 points, eight rebounds and two steals for Louisville, but it wasn't enough to keep pace.
